Hail Damage

Well it seems our beloved BRZ's really hate hail. A storm hit yesterday afternoon damage:

back glass shattered
front glass cracked
water damage on the interior
driver mirror busted
paint chipped
142 dings and dents on roof, hood, trunk, side panels (yes I counted)

So much for living in the south and warm weather.

Thank god for good insurance and an agent that live down the street from me. He seemed to think they may actually total the car.

There was another guy on here from Texas that had the same thing happen from hail. They replaced everything for him.

sorry no pics at this time but yes there where 3 like the ones linked laying in my backseat and a dozen or so laying around it mixed with tons of smaller ones. Basically it looks like someone shot it with a golf ball bazooka. Now that I mention that, it resembles a gold ball as well..white and dimpled all over.

Just waiting on insurance to look at it and really glad no one was hurt.
